There was a moment when it all became too real, that sobering moment when the book was no longer a book but a mirror of the world I live in.
Indeed satire is a good antidote for turbulent times. There seems to have been a lot going on, and many characters as well. Great review!

I'm currently reading a book which details how a minority of sociopaths and psychopaths are leading a passive majority. That's inspiring because it is encouraging readers to take control more. This fictionalized account does sound like a bit more of a downer, but it's always good to see a mirror of the world in fiction anyway. I know the word "solipsistic" from Shakespeare but not the others. I always enjoy encountering new words. Thanks for an excellent review.
This post was brought to you by the word "specifically".

you wrote a really nice review, however i am not interested in this type of book. I don't feel as if it would personally hold my own attention. Im glad others enjoyed it, every author deserves credit for their work.

After reading this description, I'm curious enough to read this book. A book that makes you laugh, because of the absurdity at the beginning, but later it makes you have a glimpse of our society, is not seen every day.

This is a compelling review. I do occasionally like to read some that is "so ridiculous, so inanely impossible," and yet, hints of truth.
